LOUISIANA vs. NEW HAMPSHIRE

The waitress at your local sandwich shop tells you a fried oyster po-boy "dressed" is healthier than a Caesar salad.

You can eat Popeye's, Haydel's and Zapp's for lunch and wash it down with Barq's and several Abitas, without losing it all on your stoop.

Haha, I loved those...




And if you absolutely must see my friend blog, go ahead, but the main reason I did two separate ones is because the family one is for things family would be interested in, and the friend one is for things my friends would be interested in. I don't think you'd be very interested by it, mainly because it's just basically about what I do day to day. Boring. But if you would like to see it, go here->> http://www.xanga.com/BRIlovesHP. There you go!
